Bigtime muscle - horsepower challenge - photo results posted!

HORSEPOWER CHALLENGE brought to you by BIGTIME MUSCLE

A new Challenge Series for the Forza 4 community - YOU pick your cars to compete with !!

This is a new monthly Challenge Series - Each month, we will set a HP range - you choose ANY car (with monthly exceptions) - you build/tune car WITHIN the chosen HP range and compete in a a two leg timed competition. 20 laps at a chosen speedway and 10 circuit laps at a circuit track from the same location. Replays must be saved and times from both legs will be combined to determine over all winner and finishers.

Participants must run the event with “HORSEPOWER CHALLENGE” LOGO on their car - sides or top/hood - available for free download at koolIROCZ1967 storefront - rates appreciated if you deem worthy ;]

You must run the same car for both legs - builds/tunes will obviously need to be changed - but same car must be used

You will race “online” and set your lap numbers - YOU MUST RUN SOLO - no AI cars allowed

Save replays from both legs and label “HP Speedway” and “HP Circuit”

Participants must post their chosen car - HP rating - Speedway time - Circuit time
ex. Murcielago LP670-4 SV - 661 Hp
Speedway - XX:XX.XXX
Circuit - XX:XX.XXX

IF you update your time with a different car - your previous time will be eliminated - only 1 car and time allowed at any given time during the competition.

Times will be combined and totaled - and winners determined.

CONVERSIONS are allowed - cars must remain with the chosen HP range/class chosen.

NO RACE CARS - “CONCEPTS” or SPECIAL EDITION “COMPETITION” MODELS

Winner will receive 200 million credits - 2nd place - 150 million - 3rd - 100 million - rest of the participants will receive 25 million each - most “off the wall” car chosen - 50 million credits

There will also be a monthly Photo comp within the Challenge - 1st - 100 million - 2nd 75 million - 3rd - 50 million and of course, Honorable Mentions.

*** I am assuming these to be clean laps ??

Well it’s not a show stopper or going to win any driving talent awards but for a starter to kick things off I ran the 2012 Porsche Cayenne SUV 4WD . I ran all clean laps because what fun would it be to not try to do that with 4 wheel peel ? :slight_smile:

Times and replays are up

2012 Porsche Cayenne 666 H.P.

HP Circuit 15.33.768

HP Speedway 14.07.536

Gave you your first 5* on the logo :slight_smile:

Loving the new format Kool , will def be giving this one a shot . Just a shame the Noble isnt allowed :frowning: . Will get on this first thing tomorrow . As for which car to use , hmmm !!!

One question kool , just for clarification . Can we use lower class cars than R3 and do they have to stay in their original class or is R3 the limit to upgrade ???

That’s a good question V … I figured any meant anything not any among R3 class … I picked something I figured no one else would try out … lol I would be getting lapped online :slight_smile:

Good questions ;]

DRAGGIN - - We would hope for 30 consecutive clean laps but realize that THAT daunting task would be - to say the least - quite difficult and discouraging to most…sooooo…we would like everyone to run as fairly and cleanly as they possibly can - and the replays WILL BE viewed by the team of judges and any ‘blatant’ dirty laps will be noted and dealt with accordingly. Scraping the wall a few times or getting your tires just past the rumble strips a few corners is to be expected - Judges have final say on replays. BTW - thanks for the ‘Rate’ and to be the first participant ;]

voldemortt - ANY car as long as it stays within the HP range AND goes NO HIGHER than R3. Looking forward to seeing what you put together ;] Thanks for joining in ;]

Good questions and glad to clarify ;]

yes 30 consecutive clean laps is a bit much to ask however if you get a corner wrong and dirty a lap that is acceptable however if you are blatently cutting corners to improve your time your time may be disqualified as this would result in an unfair advantage to other competitors we want a fun comp that all are going hard at it good luck to all NOTE: AN EASY WAY TO DETERMINE IF A CAR IS LEGAL IS TO SET UP YOUR LOBBY AND TURN THE CAR TYPE TO PRODUCTION AND NO CONCEPT CARS

Thats grand kool , thanx for the quick response too, now i can start tuning :slight_smile:

This is genius! Yep, that’s all I’ve got to say about that. ; )

2002 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 - 662 HP

Circuit - 14:26.960

Speedway - 12:39.687

Replays on storefront, all clean laps (which is unusual for me)
May try something Italian or maybe German next.
Great Challenge :slight_smile:

What a GREAT idea for a new challenge !! - really hoping I can get the Country Squire to fall between the set parameters lol =)

Kool, when we change cars are we to go back to previous posts and mark them as N/A or something to that affect ? Might be fun to change cars often =)

=)

Hmmmm…Country Squire…that would definitely be “off the wall” ;]

As far as editing your posts to “NA” - lets leave the previous posts, as others can see and gauge what cars are capable off and they might want to run themselves - When tabulating leader board, I will simply work my way backwards through the thread and take only participants most recent car/times.

Thanks Wan Ge for hoppin’ in ;] Hope you are having fun with this one ;]

Marketing Dept. came up with these cheap Challenge souvenirs ;] Available throughout the weekend in the AH - if anybody wants to own a piece of the Premiere Event ;]

And before anybody gets too excited…the Vandura CAN NOT be brought into HP spec :[ That would be cool though ;]

I wonder if the Ford Transit can be upgraded to the specs ??? . I rem watching Top Gear when those guys were challenging their Aussie counterparts . They threw a Jaguar V12 engine onto it lol , if only we could do that here eh !!!

Correction, the XJ220 had a twin-turbo V6, not a V12. It would’ve sounded a lot better with a V12 though. Lol

Ahh , i stand corrected - was still funny as hell though watching the Aussie guys faces as the Transit took off like a bat outta hell

I had a look at the Transit van earlier today and it actually does make the power band necessary for the challenge , with a few modifications , namely a new engine , a Falcon V8 if i rem correctly .
